"Mainiacs away from Maine are truly displaced persons, only half alive, only half aware of their immediate surroundings. Their inner attention is always preoccupied and pre-empted by the tiny pinpoint on the face of the globe called Down East. They try to live not in such a manner that they will eventually be welcomed into Paradise, but only so that someday they can go home to Maine."
-- Louise Dickinson Rich

I know I’m forgetting some. And I don’t know if I should give Heroes a chance this year – I’d have to rent Season Two, since I didn’t watch it. We watch SO MUCH TV. Damn you, inventor of the DVR! DAMN YOU.

(Edited to add, this is a very handy website when obsessed over what’s going on with “your” shows and when they’re coming back again. Go here specifically for a night-by-night breakdown of what’s on when.)

I think our schedule runs anything up to 6 weeks behind yours. This list is very useful – partly because it’s confirmation that some decent TV is finally heading our way (it’s currently a virtual dead zone here), and partly because there are some programmes that I haven’t seen before, so if they ever make it across the Atlantic, I shall be giving them a go. 🙂

I’ve decided to give Heroes another chance. After loving it the first year, it turned weird and dumb the second year. I had a friend of mine update me on all I need to know to be ready for this year and if you want, I’ll give you a rundown! If it turns out the first or second episode of this year doesn’t grab me, it’s out.
Yes, the dvr is the best/worst thing that ever happened to my household.

Also, I am totally addicted to The Closer and Saving Grace. Troy and I have also started a habit of watching the seasons of The Biggest Loser (usually while eating huge dinners, hee) but you DEFINITELY want to record those and watch them later so you can fast forward through all the commercials and repeat of what happened right BEFORE the commercial, AFTER the commercial. Gah.

And also, wtf is up with Gil Grissom leaving CSI after this season? They may have lost me after this season, with that one.
